It always feels good to "brave" the not-that-bad road conditions when the rest of the pansies around here are too scared to try . . . until you get hit by some idiot driving stupid.  That's right, Mister Northwesterner, 4x4s don't stop any better on ice and spinning tires aren't more likely to make you move forward if they spin faster.

I drove the wife's Mustang today. She took the 4x4 to the carpool area to ride in with friends. Besides, today is free Quizno's sandwich day at work so it was worth risking my life, AND, I get MORE sammichs since so many didn't show up today! :D

Thanks Rox, flash does some weird stuff to the close flakes though :(

There was snow falling on the commute this morning, but nothing was sticking. Ski season is rumored to be going through April into May this year (with, of course, the obligatory year around skiing on the glacier at Timberline). The snow pack is doing very well. I'm hoping this summer isn't a wet one, but get the feeling it will be.

BTW... not driving in snow where people aren't "used" to it is something I firmly believe in. It has nothing to do with your driving, but everything to do with everyone else on the road. I don't park my car on the street when it's snowing for the same reasons.

It's 82 deg here and rising!  This is the hottest March 27 2008 on record!  I'm with Moray, the data definately shows warming trend.  Yesterday it was only 80.  See?  That's called SCIENCE, you buffoons.  Data.  Warm yesterday, warmer today.  QED.

Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

We have a small blizzard going on right now. This frickin winter-spring is pissing me off. I'm going to let mother nature take care of the driveway this time, however long that takes.
